More on students arrested during protest in Taiwan

The student who wrote about how he was harassed by the police posted a message on 6th May. He said that six men in black T-shirts were ‘found’ and the students were asked by the police to identify them. It is not clear whether those men were physically ‘apprehended’. The student reckons those men were associated with the temple, carrying sedan chairs for the God statues during ceremonies. The student stated that they still did not press charges because their main focus is to protest against the recognition of Chinese qualifications and acceptance of Chinese students. They do not want to waste time on court battles with local thugs.

Taiwan, also known as Formosa, is NOT part of China. The majority of the population see themselves as Taiwanese, NOT Chinese. Taiwan is a democracy and therefore people there do not wish to be ruled by China, a dictatorship with poor human rights record and about 2,000 missiles aiming at Taiwan.
